A letter arrives:
It is my sad duty to declare war upon the nation of Sweden.
Since my ally in the Greif-Schussel Allianz is involved in war with your nation, I am honour-bound to aid the soldiers of Pommern.
I recommend you to surrender, since your nation will not receive any aid from any sources, your own nobles disagree with this war, and now you face both Denmark, Pommern and Bremen on the field of battle.
Johann III
Duke of Bremen.
